Will try to watch the Freesports episode if I can tune it in to my Freeview box

i watched it yesterday from recording last week and i dont remember seeing any of it before, it started with a very good 6 woman tag match, Kylie Rae beat kimber Lee, the big LG beat mad man Fulton with steel chairs,they where the best matches i saw on that show

this weeks impact on 5 star has a big x division 6 person match, and a match to decide who gets the number 20 spot at bound of glory

Saw it on Freesports last night, Very good bfg go home show ahead of BFG on Saturday night (1am Sunday morning U.K. time)

There is also the call your shot battle royal as well as those 6 matches.

I think Jordynne Grace will become new X-Division champ and the KO Tag Team belts will come back. Will be some debuts or returns I think.

Really good of impact to arrange for Deonna Purrazzo to live tweet during last nights episode on Freesports

HAPPY BOUND FOR GLORY DAY!!!!!

45 MINUTES TILL BOUND FOR GLORY!!

BREAKING NEWS!!!

Impact are bringing back the Knockout Tag Team Title Belts!!!!! they will be back at the first impact PPV of 2021 on January 16 at Hard To Kill

Interesting BFG

^^
I stayed up and it was another very good PPV from Impact. Impact now will tape over the next 3 days the remaining impact episodes & ppv’s to last them until Hard To Kill on January 16

Apparently Kylie rae had an injury that's why she didn't appear

At the moment, I think it’s a storyline injury & Kylie will be back on impact next Tuesday to feud with SuYung for the ko title.

But it could be a genuine injury or possibly even Covid

agree with the above a very interesting PPV here is what happened for those that didn't see,

buy in match - The Rascalz vs. The Deaners -
this was fun as you would expect from these 2 teams but was a bit rushed as they didn't have much time, the Deaners won,

match 1 - Six-Way Scramble Match for the X-Division Championship -
this was a really good match all 6 worked so well together, the 2 stand outs for me where Grace who really showed off her skill and strength i can't see her going back to womans matched, and Mack who looked amazing doing the moves he did for his size,
i was not surprised to see Raju win as hes been such a fun heel champion and gives the division something more interesting than just tricks in the ring, a greta start to the night

match 2 - Call Your Shot Gauntlet -
this was a traditional battle royal until 2 men left then it turned into a normal singles match,
the match was a bit of a mess as often the case when 20 wrestlers involved, and it was made even worse by the fact the Heath had some sort of injury for real that meant he could not finish the match, after that there was so panic as the ref made it up as he went along telling the wrestlers left what to do, Rhino had to win to keep the story line correct, but was nice to see Rhino win his biggest match on PPV for about 15 years,
the match had some returns as matches like this always do, the biggest was Cowboy James Storm , Shawn Daivari also came back,
a nice moment was seeing Tommy Dreamer come out in Road Warrior Animal facepaint, t-shirt and hairstyle in tribute to the recently passed icon, i like that,

match 3 - EC3 vs. Moose -
fuck knows what went on here, i think Moose won, but there was no 3 count he just knocked out EC3 with the belt in the end, it was as pointless as all the other stuff they have done together, it felt like a real waste of EC3, but dose look like impact has big plans for Moose,

match 4 - Eddie Edwards vs. Ken Shamrock -
Shamrock won on the day he went into the HOF, no real surprise but it was a good match huge props to Eddie and Callihan for caring Shamrock to his best match in years, it all worked and was injoyable to watch, and having Callihan detract Eddie to help Ken to win means no one was a loser good booking,

match 5 - 4-Way Match for the Impact Tag Team Championships -
this was expected to be the match of the night and it lived up to it even with Shelley being injury for real meaning that Josh Alexander had to put him out before the match started,
Sabin was outstanding on his own, showed why hes one of the most resilient babyfaces around,
i was not expecting the North to win but it makes sense as they are the best tag team in impact and the fact they used the belts to beat the good brothers sets up some nice matches to come, i liked this match a lot,

match 6 - Knockouts Championship Match Deonna Purrazzo vs Su Yung -
no idea what happened her , it was never explained by anyone why Kylie Rae no-showed,
Deonna just came out and issued an open challenge, Su Yung came out, it was an ok match, was good to see Su going hard core again, but was really shocked that she won the match, makes no sense at all, seams a waste of Deonna, the hwho thing was poor booking and makes everyone involved look week, very poor,

main event - Impact World Championship Match, Rich Swann vs. Eric Young -
thank god Swann won and took young away from the belt before he can make it worthless, to be fair this was a better match than i was expecting, both men gave it 110% having there best matches in ages, it all made sense was a good outcome to the long story that set it up, Swann looked like a champ be interesting to see what he dose now,

so a mixed show some very good some very poor, but then thats often how impact is, still 4 good matches out of 7 did make the thing worth buying, the 2 matches i was expecting to be poor where but the biggest disappointment was the womans match, but on the flip sild the world champ was better than expected
